I have a theory that children's IQ is highly dependant on the father's interests.
I have noticed anecdotally that men who take part in highly analytical endeavours produce highly intelligent children. This may explain why some average IQ women (after all many men breed down in terms of intellect) can produce very high IQ boys.
I always thought my theory would have no scientific backing, but when you look into areas such as epigenetics you will see how you lead your lives will change the genetic make up of your offspring.
Although I wonder if having an IQ >120 is an advantage or a disadvantage. The social downsides of very high IQ negates any career gain. Whereas if you have high but no excessively high IQ such as 120 you can get all the top jobs whereas still have a succesful social life.
